Chapter 60: Rebirth in the Fire

Conan's voice was a little distorted on the phone. Amuro couldn't even tell if it was because there was too much noise in his head or the noise of the night traffic was too loud. He only heard the boy's calm voice on the phone, "No, these three places have one thing in common. They are all places that elementary school children like. Many elementary schools often choose these places for play activities. I guess the suspect has a dead child, and the cause of death of this child is related to the Sanno Festival. There are not many such accidents. I believe that combined with the list of cults provided by the Metropolitan Police Department, the suspect should be able to be identified soon. As for the location of the bomb, the place that elementary school children like near Ginza can only be the Toy Museum."

Conan paused for a moment, then continued, "Another point that supports my idea is that the Sanno Festival float will pass through Ginza at 12 o'clock. Mr. Amuro, do you believe my reasoning?"

The Toy Museum is an eight-story store, and it is closed at this time. But the float will pass in front of the Toy Museum, and at that time, there will definitely be a crowd of people below. Conan finally understood why 12 o'clock was chosen, because the people who would be nearby at this time would only be "fanatics" who love the Sanno Festival. However, the criminal completely forgot that the Sanno Festival would attract a large number of tourists, and most of the participants at this time were tourists.

But now, they don't know how many bombs the other side has buried. If the bomb is big enough to destroy an entire building, not to mention the explosion itself, the debris flying out of the explosion can take away countless lives.

Conan cannot guarantee that Toru Amuro can fully believe in his reasoning. After all, time is money and time is life. At most, they can send all the police force and resources to evacuate a crowd. If Conan fails in his judgment, nothing will happen to him. After all, he is just an elementary school student and an ordinary citizen. Even if Conan will blame himself and bear a psychological shadow for the rest of his life, he will not be blamed at the social level. But Toru Amuro is different. As a senior public security official, he has to bear a lot of things to make judgments and give orders at this time. He needs to be responsible to the citizens of Tokyo, and he needs to be responsible to the police and public security who went to evacuate. Even if this inference was made by Conan, he accepts this judgment, and it can only be judged by him alone.

"Mr. Amuro, we only have one chance." Conan's calm and even voice came from the phone, "If we make a wrong judgment, nothing will change. If we make a right judgment, we can save thousands of lives. It's worth a try. I will face it with you, please make a decision."

Amuro Toru chuckled, "You notify the police to evacuate the crowd near Ginza, and I will notify the public security to eliminate the bomb, before 12 o'clock, as soon as possible."

"Mr. Amuro! Okay!" Conan's excited voice sounded in Amuro Toru's ears. He didn't know why Conan was happy, because he believed in his reasoning, or because he might be able to save people?

Toru Amuro looked up at Ginza not far away. The lights were brilliant and colorful, like a beautiful dream that would never end, attracting everyone to fall asleep.

Class leader, Kenji, Jinpei, Hiro, please bless the citizens of Tokyo.

He muttered to himself, and then forced a smile with amusement. Today, he first encountered a cult, and then met someone who looked very similar to Hiro, so his brain must be not working well.

The dead cannot protect people, only the living can protect people, and only he can protect the citizens of Tokyo. He took a deep breath, turned on his phone, and started to contact his superiors in the public security department.

After Conan agreed, he quickly called Inspector Megure as Kudo Shinichi. With the endorsement of the trusted high school detective, Inspector Megure still withstood the pressure and notified all police officers in the area to go to Ginza to evacuate the crowd. The public security was faster because Toru Amuro was the superior himself. They arrived at the Toy Museum first and conducted a preliminary inspection of the situation.

A large number of police officers were evacuating the crowd, but due to the noisy atmosphere, many people did not hear it immediately and continued to follow the floats. The police drove their police cars and forced their way into the parade, sirens blaring and screaming at the top of their lungs. The police's efforts finally paid off, and people followed the instructions in a panic and evacuated.

But it was not so easy to clear the huge flow of people in an instant. Many alleys and floors were filled with terrified people. The police tried their best to control the crowd to evacuate quickly, but they were also worried about stampedes. They shouted until their throats were no longer able to shout and their arms were no longer able to use strength. The originally happy atmosphere was swept away, and all they could see were people's expressions of fear and despair. Silent fear spread in everyone's heart.

Under the black sky, on the dark rooftop. He Jing Yayoi watched all this quietly, his eyes looking from the roof to the endless stream of lights below, each flickering light strip is a reflection of a family. But not every star waits for the person he wants to wait for. The world line is so ruthless, it gives people happiness, and also withdraws the other person's life at will.

Kazukage Yayoi watched the death toll gradually decrease due to everyone's continuous efforts. However, this number finally stopped at the bright red 7 people.

The number of people is the same as the original death toll of the Tokyo Skytree.

He shuddered and closed his eyes. A huge flame burst through the sky, shaking him so much that he felt as if he was in pain. The warm wind howled violently, playing a mournful song between the buildings.

"May the quiet night always be with you," Kazukage Yayoi said softly, and he finally chose to say this eulogy.

Zhu Fu Jingguang had been standing quietly beside him as a background board. Until this moment, he couldn't help but speak, "Yayoi, can you tell me how many people died?"

Kazukage Yayoi suppressed the sadness in his eyes and turned around calmly, "7 people, huh."

He smiled sarcastically, not knowing who the smile was directed at.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was keenly aware of this number. Since he saved 7 people, the so-called world line would require him to kill 7 people again, one life for another?

Kazukage Yayoi jumped down from the high platform, just like a black feather falling into the dust.

"Originally there were 218 people. This number is the total number of all the souls I took over and the lifelines I created. Now only 7 people have been taken away. Ha, should I say that this is a great honor for me? Oh, it should be a great honor for Conan and Mr. Amuro."

Thanatos had never experienced any real emotional fluctuations since coming to this world, but now he felt a trace of anger in his heart, as if the wind just now blew into His heart, causing ripples in His soul.

Everything he saved and created was not recognized by this world. His efforts needed the world line to become real, otherwise they were false. His hope, facing the world line, was nothing but a bubble, reflected in this colorful city.

This is a naked provocation and insult to a god.

After a moment, he calmed down again. As a pure law constraint that should have no self-interest, the world line should not have such thinking ability against him. And he has always been cautious and never overused his authority. He basically followed the requirements of the world line and life line. There is no reason for the world line to fight back against him.

In other words, the world line is very concerned about the future process and does not allow modification, even such insignificant things. But why?

The world line will guide Conan and his friends to find the truth and allow them to save as many lives as possible, proving that human souls are useless to it. It simply needs 7 people to die. At the beginning, there are 218 people, which is the number of humans missing in the world. But it is willing to let Conan and his friends save them and acknowledge their existence, but the bottom line is 7 people.

Is it because these 7 people should have been saved by Conan, and were saved by him this time, so it cannot be considered effective, or is it simply because these 7 people were already dead, and the other 211 people are not currently considered real humans, so there is no need to make a validity judgment?

But he couldn't get the answer just by thinking about it, so he looked up at Zhufu Jingguang.

"Come on, let's go check out the scene."
